Buying a new car is an exciting process! Most new cars come with standard features, such as GPS, heated seats, and excellent factory systems. However, there are quite a few other features shoppers should consider. Here are a few things you may want to look for when shopping for a new car.
Backup Cameras
Backup cameras provide additional security when you back your car up. This type of camera automatically turns on when you put your car in reverse. A grid-like image appears so you can see exactly where the rear end of your vehicle is going. This technology is extremely helpful in preventing accidents.
Blind Spot Detection
Some vehicles with backup cameras include a blind spot detection feature. This feature uses sensors to determine if blind spots on the car are close to something else. When this happens, the car will alert you that there's something in your blind spot to prevent a potential accident.
Enhanced Security Systems
Car audio lovers are likely well aware that advanced audio systems pose an increased risk of break-ins. If you have expensive stereo equipment, it's critical to ensure that your speakers are well protected. Securing the speaker box into the car is one step you can take to keep it safe. Another good practice is to ensure that your new car has an outstanding security system.
Phone Compatibility
Some cars offer Android Auto, while others offer CarPlay, which is compatible with iPhones. If you love music, you should make sure your phone is compatible with your car so you can play all your favorite tunes easily. These features also encourage safe driving, as they enable you to play music without having your phone in your hand. Be sure to check that the system included in a car works with the type of phone you have.
Available Speaker Space
A good audio system is one of the most widely desired features for a car to have. In fact, PR Newswire predicts that the value of the global car audio market will rise to $52,397.5 million by 2027. If you're a car audio lover, you'll want to make sure that you have plenty of extra room for speakers. Many car audio enthusiasts use a large trunk to store their speakers. However, if you frequently carry passengers in your car, you'll also want plenty of room in the backseat.
